talkSPORT extends Darren Gough’s contract

Former England cricketer Darren Gough has extended his contract with talkSPORT to co-host the afternoon drive show for a further two years.

Darren, who has been on talkSPORT since 2009, presents Drive with Adrian Durham every weekday between 4-7pm.

Gough has played over 50 test matches and 150 ODI’s for England and becoming the first Englishman to take 200 wickets in one-day internationals.

Darren said: “I’ve learnt so much over the last three years working with Adrian. I really love what I do and we’ve got a great team and atmosphere at talkSPORT. I’m looking forward to being here for a long time and taking the show to the next level. Roll on this summer’s Lions tour, the Ashes and Brazil 2014!”

Calum Macaulay, Managing Director of talkSPORT said: “Goughie is a huge part of the team at talkSPORT and, as the listening figures have shown, he and Adrian are a winning combination. It’s fantastic news that he’s committed to us for the next two years. And not only is Darren a brilliant broadcaster, he’s also the only talkSPORT presenter to have won Strictly Come Dancing!”
